This diverse national park was the first park in Africa to be set up as a birds’ sanctuary.

Other exciting birds here include Great White Pelican, Hamerkop, African Fish Eagle, Grey-backed Fiscal, Greater Blue-eared Starling, Lilac-breasted Roller, Helmeted Guineafowl, White-browed Robin-Chat, Yellow-billed Duck, Blacksmith Lapwing and Yellow-billed Stork.
